Stefan Neville

(b. 1974, New Zealand)

Stefan Neville grew up on a steady diet of 'Whizzer and Chips', 'Whoopee', 'Beano', 'The Incredible Hulk' and of course, 'Tintin' and 'Asterix'. He still remembers how his dad, who created the strip 'Waitemata Gull', explained to him and his sister how to draw comics. His sister now makes the comic 'Nice Gravy'. As a member of New Zealand's most enthusiastic mini-comics group, Oats Comics, Stefan Neville contributed and produced numerous titles. Some of these are: 'Dad + Tracy', 'The New Dixon' and recently, 'The City of Tales Collections'. On the latter, he is working together with Clayton Noone, and the comic is up to its third volume. Stefan Neville also sings in a band, called Pumice.
